While being out of work is no fun, local museums and attractions are helping furloughed government employees have a little fun during their downtime by offering complimentary admission. It definitely doesn’t compare to getting a paycheck, but the generous offer does help families save a little money.

The complimentary admission varies by location. As of now, the offers run through January 31. However, check first, as details may change.

You will need to present a proper government-issued ID for any of the offers. The food-related offers are only valid at participating locations.
